We did have to wait an hour to be sat on a Thursday, but we had a good experience. All four of us got different meals and everything was phenomenal. We were sat at a table by the river and the scenery was fantastic. Would recommend to a friend.
Very nice waterside restaurant. We ate out side on the deck right up along the water. Food was good and service was excellent. We tried the spicy chicken sandwich and the burger. Both very good.
Had fathers day dinner in the water with my amazing daughter. Good food, nice staff, and amazing views.
We were vacationing here and stopped for dinner. It totally exceeded our expectations, we got chips & queso, Mahi tacos, chicken tender platter, and the lake perch dinner, all were phenomenal! Homemade ranch and tartar sauce. The chicken tenders fell right apart. The tacos were so fresh. Drinks were good. Fun music/rooftop bar on the water. We sat by the entrance so it was a little crowded and loud as it got busier but not bad. Service was very fast and efficient, if we are in the area again we will definitely be coming back. SO good!
Despite a bit of a wait to be seated during the busy summer season, the experience is well worth it. The food is superb, perfectly complemented by the stunning views and vibrant atmosphere. The staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive, adding to the overall excellent dining experience.
A very nice place for dinner and drinks with a beautiful river view
I had the Salmon with Brussel Sprouts, and my husband had the Ribs. Food was pretty good, but you don't get a salad with entrees. The atmosphere was nice, and it's right on the water with a nice view. Our waitress was very attentive and refilled my Coke and our water regularly. I'd eat here again and recommend this establishment.
Great food and very good service. We got the Aha Tuna Poke for the appetizer, and Mahi & Shrimp Tqcos w/ a margarita pizza for the main course. It was all delicious and I highly recommend. The patio seating is opened in the late spring early summer time— we didn’t get a chance to sit outside since it was still cold but the seating looks very nice. I recommend
